Staking my claim on what I'm sure will be another interesting account of Australian forces in action during the Cold War... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 04:40, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Finally got round to the detailed review...

Technical
 * No dab or external link issues.
 * Images have alt text.

Aside from my usual copyedit, a few points...

Infobox -- Not sure of standard and not too fussed as long as you're consistent, but we have in Belligerents "United Nations" bolded with a colon, followed by a bulleted list, and then we have in Units Involved "27th Brit Com Bde" unbolded without a colon, followed by a bulleted list. Should be consistent and, personally, I think the latter (unbolded without a colon) works fine.
 * Yes that makes sense. Done. Anotherclown (talk) 08:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Clearance of the town
 * The following morning the Australians remained in position, finding more than 150 North Korean dead within their defensive positions at daybreak. -- within whose defensive positions, the Australians' or the North Koreans'?
 * Done. Anotherclown (talk) 08:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Meanwhile, aerial reconnaissance subsequently reported the presence of North Korean tanks to the west of Chongju. -- "meanwhile" inplies more-or-less simultaneously, while "subsequently" suggests afterwards; can't both be right so choose which is more appropriate and lose the other... ;-)
 * Done. Anotherclown (talk) 08:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Appears inconsistent representation of numbers, for instance you have "10" and "12" early on, but then "thirty-six" later -- I assume you're trying to stick to the rule of spelling out single-digit numbers and using figures for anything bigger, so perhaps best check throughout to ensure consistency.
 * Done. Anotherclown (talk) 08:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Do we know who fired the shells that wounded Green? As written it could be taken as enemy or friendly fire so if we know let's spell it out.
 * Done. Anotherclown (talk) 08:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool; I put "around dusk" back to the beginning of the sentence because at the end it sounded like a location, not a time... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:07, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Images -- all appear appropriately licensed.

Summary -- looks very good, mate, if you can just address the points above I'll be happy to pass. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
